Summary: Good except not much bass
Review: I'm using the V60 with the radio headset in a small town with only 6-7 stations. Reception is good, though not as good as a Sony walkman-type radio that I used to use.

As some people have said, the wire on one of the earphones is a bit short and both fall out from time to time. Though both of these things are minor in IMO.

The sound is clear but would be much better with more bass. Hard to say whether this is because of the FM receiver chip or the less-than-highend earphones.

Otherwise, it's definitely worth the $26(including shipping) I paid for it online. But you can do better, Motorola!

Summary: Great little receiver
Review: I've been an electronic hobbyist since 1962, and an amateur radio operator (K8WV) since '63. I have a hard time believing I own the same radio I see reviewed in some of the reviews here. This is a solid and sensitive receiver, with good selectivity.

It is relatively large, compaired to the V60, but relates well size-wise to the V120. The receiver and volume control are in a housing in the cable between the phone and the earbuds. It has a clip on the back to secure the housing to a shirt/blouse. The cables are relatively long, but that allows them to be routed around your body and/or under your clothes - nice when doing yard work, walking for exercise, or bike riding. The telephone microphone is in a smaller housing near one of the earbuds, and is housed with a pushbutton phone answer button. Useful if your phone is in a pocket or "fanny pack" and you don't use "auto answer." The integration of the operation of the radio with the phone is seamless.

I live in a small city with 3-4 local FM stations. I have no trouble receiving them. Two of the stations are on very close frequencies. This receiver has no trouble separating them. I can also receive several stations from neighboring towns. This radio works at least as well as any other small receiver I've used.

This radio will not satisfy everyone, and the list price is a bit high. But it works well, and is flexible in use. I recommend it. Shop for price.

Summary: Stay Away, not worth the money!
Review: This FM accessory was the reason why I purchased a Motorola phone. I'm very disappointed with it. Reception is Horrible.
The clip is awkward to attach to any part of your clothing. The uneven wires for your left and right ear is a joke. The heavy gauge wire that runs into the mike, then one short wire for one ear and a too LONG of a wire for your other ear.
You turn your head and the short wire pulls the speaker out of your ear.

My other gripe, CHEAP SPEAKERS. The speaker with the long wire slowly started to fade and sounded scratchy. The one with the short wire slowly lost it's quality within a 4 hour period. The next day it won't work at all, the speaker is now blown. And the other speaker you can barley hear out of. And I NEVER had the volume turned all the way up. This item only lasted a month.
